Make Smarter,
How it works
Caissa’s in-house data team is able to process virtually any form of transparency information. The data is cleansed, harmonized, and integrated into our award-winning portfolio analytics platform.
Additionally, Caissa has formed an exclusive partnership with MSCI whereby Caissa clients can access HedgePlatform exposures, powering analytics calculated on the transparency of over 1,400 funds.
With this new partnership, the Caissa Platform is the most comprehensive for asset owners seeking transparency across a complex, multi-asset class portfolio.
Unparalleled exposure look-through and powerful risk analytics
- EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT:
Analyze your entire portfolio’s universe of investments including hedge funds, SMAs, long-only funds, venture capital funds, and private equity funds. Drill down flexibility allows you to integrate exposure analysis with liquidity: "Across my entire portfolio, what percent of the total exposure is in energy? Within energy, what percent is common stock exposure? What percent of that energy common stock is redeemable within 3 months?”
- RISK MANAGEMENT:
Leverage your exposures to conduct holdings-based stress tests as opposed to relying on historical returns to assess risk. Evaluate how your portfolio, and your managers, would fare if interest rates went up 1%, or S&P went down 20%, or if a historical event like the Subprime Crisis were to occur again.
Integrated portfolio construction tools to streamline decision-making
Model hypothetical transactions and view the expected impact to your portfolio’s exposure. Rebalance your portfolio, leveraging automatically calculated exit opportunities.
Liquidity Analysis:
Capture complex hedge fund liquidity terms, considering parameters like investor-level gates and irregular cycles. Aggregate terms to easily assess portfolio rebalancing opportunities. Avoid costly mistakes by setting automated reminders on upcoming exit opportunities.
WHAT-IF MODELING:
Model future transactions by adding potential managers, forecasting cash flows, and planning allocations and redemptions with existing managers. Dynamically view the projected changes to portfolio exposures and ensure the projected portfolio is aligned with your investment objective.
A repository for your institution's collective intelligence
- REPORTING: Whether you are reporting to clients or a board, create flexible and customizable reports with user-friendly integration of graphs and charts. All reports can be easily exported into a PDF reporting package.
- EXCEL API: Information is an organization's most important asset, so we make sure it flows freely. Data can be seamlessly imported or exported through the use of our fully integrated Microsoft Excel API.
Assess the contributors to your portfolio's performance
quantitative analytics:
Compare your portfolio’s or any current or prospective manager’s returns to hundreds of pre-loaded, customizable benchmarks to quickly determine performance analytics such as alpha, rolling beta, standard deviation, and drawdown analysis.
attribution:
Reach data-driven assessments of a manager’s core competencies by viewing what factors drove their performance. Analyze the cumulative sources of both a manager and your portfolio’s returns across long/short positioning, asset classes, sectors, position sizings, or any customized dimension. Compare attribution to a benchmark to measure the results of active versus passive investing.
Manage private equity investments with advanced modeling tools
J-CURVE ANALYSIS:
Anticipate future cash needs and visualize the portfolio’s expected evolution. Automatically aggregate actual and forecasted private equity cash flows and asset values to the portfolio level to model asset allocation shifts and gain visibility into future liquidity profiles.
PACING MODEL:
Build highly customizable private equity pacing models to project each investment’s future capital calls, distributions, and NAVs. Architected for scale, you can apply models at the strategy level, and fine-tune model forecasts at the individual fund level.
